The Franklin Park Arts Center is operated by Loudoun County's Department of Parks, Recreation, and Community Services (PRCS). This site is designed and hosted by The Friends of Franklin Park Arts Center ('The Friends'), as a service to the community.

“If you build it, they will come.” We heard that slogan time and again during the 10 years it took to open the Arts Center. The past 5 years have proven the truth of that statement. But we couldn’t have done it without the generous support of our community. Because of the vital support provided by our members, donors, and sponsors, the Friends of Franklin Park Arts Center has been able to:

Upgrade the Arts Center auditorium’s acoustics by installing specialized sound absorbing material in the front and back stage walls

Upgrade the Auditorium sound systems with a new line array speaker system

Improve the auditorium lighting system with addtional fixtures, including LED lighting

The list of accomplishments we have been able to provide with the generous community support we’ve received over the past 5 years is impressive, but if we are to make next season even more successful, we will need your continued support today! As you know, the Franklin ParkArtsCenter is operated by the Loudoun County Department of Parks, Recreation, and Community Services (PRCS). But there is only so much the allotted County Government support can do, even in good economic times – and we know these are not good economic times. We depend on community support to help bridge the gap between the needs of the Arts Center and the constraints of difficult economic times.

We are asking you to help the Arts Center continue to “grow the arts” in Loudoun County. Please take a minute to explore the many ways you can get involved; we welcome your support and input.

Gold Star Performances

…the Franklin Park Performing and Visual Arts Center in Purcellville is a gem. I always enjoy going to Franklin Park and encourage folks in Loudoun County to take advantage of the range of arts offered there.
